Intense Pulsed Light IPL Photofacial in Palm Beach Gardens

Intense Pulsed Light, also known as a IPL therapy, is a non-invasive treatment designed to rejuvenate your skin. By targeting sun damage, redness, and pigmentation, IPL therapy at Nouveau Health and Wellness helps you achieve a more even complexion and reduces skin texture.

The IPL Procedure

During IPL treatment, one of our experts uses a handheld device to deliver controlled pulses of light to the skin. These light pulses penetrate the outer layers to target pigment and vascular irregularities beneath the surface. The procedure lasts 20 to 30 minutes and is well-tolerated by most patients. A series of treatments is often recommended for optimal results, and IPL can be performed on the face, neck, chest, and hands.

What is IPL?

IPL is a light-based treatment that uses multiple wavelengths of light to address a variety of skin concerns simultaneously. Unlike lasers, which use a single wavelength, IPL delivers broad-spectrum energy, making it versatile in treating pigmentation, broken capillaries, and uneven skin tone. It is a safe, effective option for patients seeking overall skin rejuvenation.

Intense Pulsed Light IPL Photofacial FAQs

Benefits of IPL

• Reduces sun damage and age spots
• Fades freckles, pigmentation, and discoloration
• Minimizes redness and broken blood vessels
• Improves overall skin clarity and tone
• Stimulates collagen production for smoother texture
• Provides results with little to no downtime

Recovery and Results

After treatment, patients may experience mild redness or slight swelling, similar to a sunburn, which typically resolves within a few hours to a day. Dark spots may temporarily darken before naturally flaking away, revealing brighter skin. Most patients notice improvement after their first session, with results continuing to improve over a series of treatments. Because IPL stimulates collagen production, ongoing improvements in skin tone and texture can be noticed in the following weeks.

Good Candidates for IPL

IPL is ideal for those seeking a non-invasive treatment for pigmentation, redness, or signs of sun damage. Candidates often include those with uneven skin tone, rosacea, freckles, or age spots. While IPL works best for lighter skin tones, providers can determine the most effective treatment plan based on your complexion and goals.
